Great job, Heather!

I don't mind kidnap, but not if the heroine is abused or treated bad by the hero.

Way to go, Netanella! You are fierce!

I admit that I've always liked heroes who were a bit obsessed. Lately, I've been thinking about how in real life, that is wrong and scary. I can definitely separate real life from books, but sometimes a hero can get to me and make me feel he's crossed the line.

Do you have a line? Where is that line? What behavior is a red flag for you in a hero?

There are no judgments here.

Just wanted you to know I'm working on the April challenge. I will post it tomorrow evening. Sorry for the delay.

Cool! That would be a good one for audio.

@Kryptonite. I just finished Shadow Rider. What I said is accurate. He has strong sex drive and slept with a lot of women he didn't care about. He is sorry it hurts the heroine. He actually has the nerve to be jealous of the one one boy the heroine was with.

I really don't like a promiscuous hero. It bugs me.

Especially hate the double standard attached to it.

I like my heroes sexually circumspect.

I feel you, Peridot_Lyoness. I'm not a big fan of double standards. I hate when the hero has been majorly promiscuous and then tries to judge the heroine's past.

That sounds good. I haven't read anything along those lines lately. I would love to see what books people recommend.

Welcome, Valessa!

Attention: Please make a note that I goofed on the colors of the Irish flag. It is actually green, white and orange. I made the correction in my original challenge post. My apologies on that!

Thanks for commenting, Natalie. I will have to check Shepherd out. Can you link to your review here?

Which hero claimed your heart above the others in February? Tell us why!

I finished The Undateable for review and I would recommend this to readers who are looking for a more modern feeling contemporary romance. The author is definitely in touch with millennial values. I have been in a serious reading funk and I actually got into this quite a bit even though it isn't my usual thing.

Hi Natalie. I really enjoyed this. It was pleasantly different with a standout hero and a really likable heroine. It's worth a read if you're looking for a hero is differently abled. And yes, he has some nicely dangerous aspects to him.
